BACKGROUNDIREASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS - Continued
The interconnected channel was proposed as part of the Community
Television Workplan approved by the Board of Supervisors in 1986.
This workplan was developed in consultation with citizens, cable
operators and city representatives. On March 26, 1991, the Board of
Supervisors directed staff to take such action as necessary to
activate the channel by January, 1992 .
The continued cooperation of East Bay Regional Parks District and
Contra Costa County will help make this valuable community service
a reality throughout Contra Costa County.
